Unknown places to walk - Douro Valley and river Bestança


As you may know, the Douro Valley is classified as World Heritage
Site by UNESCO and is also the oldest demarcated wine region in the world.

So, it is no wonder that within the demarcated region the
landscape is dominated by the vineyard.
However, the geographic region of the Douro Valley is more
extensive than the demarcated region and beyond the demarcated region the
landscape is more diverse and it is here that we can find a small place called Porto
Antigo (old Port), where the river Bestança meets the River Douro.
The landscape of the Porto Antigo is dominated by a
beautiful hotel with the same name and located in anchorage that you can find here,
composing an idyllic setting.

The River Bestança is considered by many to be one of the
cleanest rivers of Portugal, is a hidden gem with abundant waterfalls, medieval
stone bridge and villages that retain the naivety of authentic locations.
Definitively: to be visited!!!!!
